MEMORANDUM **
Steven Crane appeals from the judgment revoking supervised release. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 , and we affirm.
Crane contends that the revocation of his supervised release violates United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 , 125 S.Ct. 738 , 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). This contention is foreclosed by United States v. Huerta-Pimental, 445 F.3d 1220, 1225 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 127 S.Ct. 545 , 166 L.Ed.2d 403 (2006).
Relying on United States v. Miqbel, 444 F.3d 1173, 1181-82 (9th Cir.2006), Crane also contends that the district court primarily based its revocation sentence on principles of promoting respect for the law and punishment for his new criminal conduct underlying the revocation, which are impermissible sentencing factors for revocation sentences.
Although the district court mentioned the impermissible factors during the revocation proceedings, we conclude that the revocation was based primarily on Crane’s breach of trust in committing subsequent burglaries and not primarily upon the impermissible factors. See United States v. Simtob, 485 F.3d 1058, 1063 (9th Cir.2007).
